When Chu Shancheng followed Jiang Wenyue to the Imperial Garden, many princes, officials and concubines had already come to the Imperial Garden, and they were seated in the banquet.

On a large stone table in the middle of the imperial garden is the family banquet table of the emperor and important concubines and princes.

There are seven or eight tables outside, including generals like the Northwest King Seal and some old men in the cabinet, as well as some leaders of the Six Ministries, Dali Temple, and Jinyiwei.

Most of them were already seated, chattering with the people next to them.

are waiting for the arrival of the emperor.

Although the emperor had not yet arrived, everyone saw Jiang Wenyue who strode over from the southeast corner of the imperial garden and Chu Shancheng, who was protecting him, and everyone's discussion was obviously louder.

There was a bustle.

Chu Shancheng was not a guest of the emperor's banquet, and naturally there was no seat for him in this imperial garden.

He stopped in the corner and said to Jiang Wenyue next to him, "Third prince, I'll watch you go over and sit down before leaving." ”

Jiang Wenyue nodded, he knew that this was his eldest brother protecting him.

When Jiang Wenyue walked forward, there were still many people's eyes looking this way at first, but Chu Shancheng's cold face that could stare at Mao would turn around and stare at him deadly.

Over time, all eyes shifted to this direction, or lowered their heads.

The Northwest King Seal sat on the main seat of a table closest to the emperor's family banquet, twisting the wine cup and drinking it, and when he put it down, he couldn't help but chuckle when he saw Chu Shancheng's fried appearance in the distance.

is still this kind of gentleman who is not afraid of heaven and earth.

Like his apprentices, at least they must have this courage.

Chu Shancheng heard the voice of the eunuch over there, "The emperor has arrived", and knew that he should leave here.

The rest of the time is with the emperor, so he will naturally guard his son, and there will be no need for him as an outsider.

When I retreated, I happened to see Dong Xiaowan walking this way with her skirt.

The skirt she wore for the performance was a little larger than the one she had worn before, and she struggled to lift the hem of the skirt at the back by herself. Chu Shancheng couldn't see it, so he took the skirt she was holding in her arms from Dong Xiaowan's hand.

"Just go ahead, I'll carry it for you."

Chu Shancheng held the hem of his skirt and consciously stood behind Dong Xiaowan and followed her step by step.

Chu Shancheng suddenly appeared and made Dong Xiaowan a little confused, but it didn't matter, after all, it was really difficult for her to hold it alone.

Dong Xiaowan's dance is not going to be played immediately.

First of all, after the emperor took his seat, he first expressed his thoughts on his birthday, and then celebrated the victory in the northwest, and everyone raised their glasses and drank together.

The king of the northwest stood up and said a few words to express his judgment on the merits and demerits of the Northwest Campaign.

All the instruments of the Orchestra Division came up and played a cheerful ode,

Then it's time for Dong Xiaowan's dance.

Therefore, when Chu Shancheng carried Dong Xiaowan's skirt and walked towards the Imperial Garden,

Basically, everyone's eyes quietly patrolled.

swept Chu Shancheng's movements, and then naturally returned to his wine glass, as if nothing had happened.

But Chu Shancheng's lifting of a skirt for a dancing girl was so unbelievable that everyone had doubts in their hearts.

Someone kept poking the person sitting next to him and said, "It's Xiaoge Lao, right?" ”

"That gentleman is really back?"

"It's really reduced to the little guy of the Teaching Workshop Division!"

It's nothing more than a few sentences back and forth.

When Chu Shancheng heard about the capital from Nanjing, his ears were about to grind out of calluses, and it didn't matter anymore.

Dong Xiaowan also glanced back worriedly, only to see Chu Shancheng standing straight on the ground lifting her skirt, looking completely indifferent, Dong Xiaowan shrugged her shoulders.

It wasn't like this when I was in Nanjing, it's amazing, the young man has grown up.

The skin is really getting thicker and thicker.

Dong Xiaowan felt that since Chu Shancheng didn't care, there was no need for her to care about these gossip.

Originally, these gossips are meaningless, and they are of no use except to cause harm to the person concerned.

The movements and designs went through her mind twice, and now everything was easy for her to say as long as she didn't make mistakes.

But Chu Shancheng found a different gaze in his sharp eyes.

Hot and rich, it is a kind of gaze that wants to swallow life alive.

Shot from the prince.

The discord between Chu Shancheng and the crown prince is a well-known thing in the capital, but in normal times, the two of them also take care of their faces, but there will be no naked hostility.

Then this gaze was very abnormal, and Chu Shancheng found it after careful identification.

This gaze was not looking at him at all, it was looking at Dong Xiaowan.

Let the prince target the woman of the Teaching Workshop Division, I'm afraid it's going to be a bad thing.

Looking at the crown prince's gaze, it slowly turned from doubt and surprise to firmness and lust.

Chu Shancheng's heart was unstable, and he whispered in Dong Xiaowan's ear.

Dong Xiaowan was a little surprised at first, "Why?" ”

Chu Shancheng lowered his head and grabbed Dong Xiaowan's shoulder vigorously, "Don't care why, just listen to me." You're on stage right away, and I don't have time to explain. ”

"Anyway, if something happens, remember to get off the stage and hide behind me. Even though this is the Royal Palace, you don't have to be afraid! ”

Dong Xiaowan just had some doubts, but Chu Shancheng's words felt that it was not so simple, the facial features of the original makeup were three-dimensionally enlarged, and this twisting of the eyebrows, the facial features were even more intense.

It turned out that the prince still had doubts about whether Dong Xiaowan was the girl who saved him by the river, and the way he saw her wring her eyebrows was exactly the same as pushing herself away by the river.

This girl turned out to be the fairy who saved herself by the river, and she turned out to be a real person!

Wow Ka !

The prince's heart blossomed with joy and showed an unkind smile.

The third prince also noticed the strangeness in his eldest brother's eyes, and looked at his eldest brother's eyes, it was Dong Xiaowan and Chu Shancheng who was lifting her skirt behind her.

I can't help but be secretly anxious, shouldn't my eldest brother return to Beijing easily?

It's so eye-catching.

The current emperor and the seal of the king of the northwest are both concise and concise people, and the speeches of the two ended symbolically in less than half a stick of incense.

The music in front of the orchestra is also simple and cheerful, except for some large instruments, which take a little time to move up and down.

Dong Xiaowan's heart was pounding, after all, he was performing for the emperor, and he was still nervous.

Worried about what to do if something went wrong, she was also a little confused in her mind, and the thing that Chu Shancheng had just explained to her was also unusual.

None of them reacted to the fact that the people of the Orchestra Division had finished playing.

Xiao Xuan and Xiao Gao had already stepped onto the stage, and Dong Xiaowan was still standing in place, her eyes a little dull, breathing heavily.

Chu Shancheng almost pushed Dong Xiaowan to the stage.

Chu Shancheng felt for the first time that Dong Xiaowan looked like a little girl who was less than sixteen years old.
